Sleek Party Boat Rentals: Pricing & Technical Details

The definition of the word “sleek” is: “trim and graceful; finely contoured; streamlined.” That’s exactly what many of the yachts are that Southern California Yachting makes available for rental. The 68’ Azimut Express and the 55’ Marquis Power Yacht are some of the more popular yachts available. Each is perfect for a party with lots of friends or an intimate evening spent with those who matter most. One of the major reasons to choose 68’ Azimut Express should be that it has an excellent combination of luxury as well as speed. With twin diesel MT power plant engines, it has plenty of power and speed that you can race through the waves, if you’re so inclined. By that same token, it has other twins as well. In fact, it features twin master state rooms with twin guest rooms. So, your guests can enjoy the luxury while they take advantage of the speed: you can be in Malibu in an hour and Catalina Island in fewer than two.

The 68’s Azimut Express allows you to enjoy the water around your yacht as well. Like other yacht rental options in Los Angeles, it comes with a Jet Ski, so you aren’t just stuck on the yacht itself. Additionally, the captain can lower the hydraulic tweak swim platform. So, you and your guests can enjoy all the swimming you want as well. For the guests who don’t feel like swimming, there are multiple sunbeds available, too. You can swim in the early morning, then sunbathe for a bit, and get up refreshed and ready to enjoy your time in Malibu, Catalina or elsewhere.The 55’ Marquis Power Yacht accommodates up to twelve guests. Between that, the three LCD TVs, the sea kayaks and the grill, this is the perfect watercraft for when you want a party yacht rental. When you want to party with the guys, or really blow off some steam, this boat can get the job done. It even has a washer and dryer, so you can party hard, and then have clean clothes for when it’s time to get off the yacht, too. The twin Volvo diesel engines makes sure that this yacht moves fast on the water, too.

How Much does it Cost to Fuel a Yacht?

One of the most commonly asked questions about chartering a luxury yacht is “How much does it cost to fuel a yacht?” Truth be told, it’s actually not a daunting expense to gas up for a few hours, day, or a beautiful week at sea.

Yacht gas prices will vary, depending on a number of factors, including:

Vessel size – a smaller yacht for an intimate party with friends or afternoon cruise with family will require less fuel than a bigger vessel that accommodates a larger event.

Distance of your charter experience – consider the fuel requirements necessary for a sunset cruise for a few hours versus an extended trip visiting multiple destinations, such as Newport Beach, Catalina Island, or Malibu.

Speed – how fast the yacht travels is a factor in calculating fuel rate, with less fuel being burned at typical cruising speed.

Weather – conditions such as wind and currents will also impact engine fuel consumption.

Oil prices – yacht gas prices are a reflection of the current oil prices, so the cost to fill up a yacht with gas fluctuates.

Calculating Fuel Consumption for Yacht Charters

How is fuel consumption calculated with yacht charters? While the cost of fuel for a yacht rental will vary, depending on the factors listed above, a good rule of thumb is to typically estimate between 10% and 40% of the charter price. This is only an estimate, however, but should provide a ballpark idea of what to expect.

Plan Your Rental in Advance

While you may get the urge for your trip and want to just pack up and go that same day, the reality of renting a yacht can be much different. It makes more sense to give yourself time to plan a trip well in advance so you can be sure you get just the vessel you want for the trip. Choosing months ahead of time allows you to arrange everything properly so you have your date selected, the length of your excursion, the people invited, the crew in place, and more.Southern California Yachting offers luxury yacht rental in Los Angeles, San Diego and Newport Beach.
